This is a follow up episode to the show titled 'Controlling Blood Sugar - Diet.'

Instead of focusing on my personal experience, we cover the science of how berberine is supposed to help with blood sugar levels.

Clarifications:

I state that a possible benefit of berberine is to inhibit (stop) gluconeogenesis.

I believe I interpreted the literature wrong. It used the term inhibit, but in this case inhibit means to hinder.

So by downregulating (which I also got the definition wrong) gluconeogenic enzymes, gluconeogenesis is reduced.

Downregulation in this context is to diminish the stimulus response of the enzymes on the liver.
